2020 Plans

So Tomorrow marks the beginning of 2020. Most people are setting goals and resolutions. For me, as a teacher, I don't usually think in terms of the calendar year, I think in terms of school years. I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions. And I've never created a year long goal that starts in January instead of September.

This year is going to be different.

This is the year I become a published author.

After doing research from other Indie Authors, I have come up with a year long plan. Here it is:

January

Finish writing "The Three Princesses of Selmy Island" and get it ready for publication.

February

Finish editing and marketing "The Three Princesses of Selmy Island."

Three Princesses Release Date: February 29, 2020

Will I be a me to stick to this schedule? I have no idea. But I'm sure going to try! I definitely plan to have "Three Princesses" out by the end of February and Coal Ivy by the end of summer. The rest is sort of the ideal plan, but I will be ok if it doesn't happen.
